Jeremiah 18:15-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ For ^(A)My people have forgotten Me,
^(B)They burn incense ^[a]to worthless gods.
And they ^[b]have stumbled in their ways,
In the ^(C)ancient roads,
To walk on paths,
Not on a ^(D)highway,
¹⁶ To make their land a ^(E)desolation,
An object of perpetual ^(F)hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And ^(G)shake his head.
¹⁷ Like an ^(H)east wind I will ^(I)scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will ^[c]show them ^(J)My back and not My face
^(K)In the day of their disaster.’”
